Luis Suárez: Uruguay's hero saves those tired of life from the tree!

A dramatic heroic epic is taking place in Uruguay: Inter Miami star Luis Suárez and his wife Sofía Balbi saved a desperate man from attempting suicide on Saturday morning. The 49-year-old climbed a six-meter-high tree with a rope around his neck and threatened to take his own life. Apparently he was suffering from severe heartbreak and was waiting for his partner to appear to help him. Suárez reacted immediately when he spotted the man and spent many hours with him trying to calm him down. This act of assistance was described by a rescue spokesman as remarkable and humane, as Suárez ensured that the man did not feel alone while he remained in the tree. The importance of providing help in such precarious situations was also discussed, as in the report by today.at is to be read.

The incident led to a large contingent of rescue workers in Ciudad de la Costa. Suárez, who was vacationing in his homeland, worked with a specialized NGO to reach and calm the man. It was only after a total of 19 hours in the tree that the desperate man was able to get down at around 5:30 p.m. He was then handed over to the care of a special unit of the Interior Ministry, where he will receive professional help. Loud Sports1 Suárez is not only known in Uruguay as a football star, but has also established himself as a folk hero through this effort. During his career he has played 143 international matches for the Uruguayan national team and most recently played for Inter Miami.
